Anaheim Elite Windows provides professional bay & bow windows in Anaheim, CA for residential and commercial properties across Orange County. A bay or bow window is not really a window job, it is a small carpentry project with glass in it. There is a projection to support, a roof to flash, an interior seat board to finish and a header to check, and the companies that treat it as a straight swap are the reason we get so many calls about sagging bays. A bay is three units set at an angle, typically thirty or forty-five degrees, with a fixed picture unit in the centre and operating casements or double-hungs flanking it. A bow is a gentler curve made of four, five or six equal lites, which suits a wider opening and a more traditional elevation. Both push out past the wall plane, and that projection has to be carried. Cable support systems anchored back into the framing, or knee braces underneath, are what keep the assembly where you put it. A bay carries its own considerable weight in glass plus whatever ends up living on the seat board, which in most houses is a cat, a row of plants and eventually a person. Hung off the sheathing with long screws and optimism, it will settle, the sashes will bind, and within a few years the joint at the top opens up and water gets in. Then there is the roof. A bay needs a small framed roof over the projection, insulated, sheathed, covered to match your existing roof, and properly flashed and counter-flashed where it meets the wall. That flashing detail is where nearly every leaking bay we are called to has failed. Below, the skirt or the underside gets framed, insulated and finished. Inside, the seat board and head board are insulated and finished in veneer or paint grade to match your trim, which is the difference between a bay that looks built-in and one that looks bolted on. Glass and structure: low-E on every lite, because a bay puts a lot more glass area on one elevation than the flat window it replaced, and if the existing opening has to be widened to take the assembly, the header gets evaluated and replaced as part of the job rather than discovered halfway through. Garden windows are the small cousin: a box that projects a foot or so over a kitchen sink, with side vents and a glass shelf for herbs that will die anyway. They are a genuinely nice thing in a dark kitchen and a much smaller job. We also repair. Sagging units, rotted seat boards and failed supports are all fixable, and on a bay that is otherwise sound, rebuilding the support and redoing the flashing costs far less than replacing the whole assembly. Set your expectations on cost and time: a fully framed bay with a new roof, interior finish and any header work is a multi-day carpentry job with a price to match, not a window swap. If what you actually want is more light in a room, a large picture window costs a fraction of it and we will happily tell you so.
With 20+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, laminated safety glass, NFRC-labeled U-factor and SHGC ratings — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anaheim and nearby communities including Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Garden Grove.

Materials, equipment and how we do bay & bow windows
The difference between bay & bow windows that lasts and bay & bow windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Anaheim job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
